New* paper iliiftincnft.
Washington, June 24. Space writing by
distinguished statesmen for yellow jour
nals it* a growing industry tn politico. At
the recent Republican 'Convention heM in
Philadelphia, a number of prominent sen
ators and representatives were engaged to
write a daily review of the proceedings a:
figures ranging from IT>oo to SI,OOO per and r
One of the New York papers stthe
price at SI,OOO for not less than 500 nor more
than I.COO words daily. When the rival pa
pers attempted to make terms with other
statesmen for similar services they de
manded the SI,OOO rate and held out for
that price to the end. The result was that
those papers which did not feel able to in
vest that amount of cold cash In the drivel
ground out by reporting statesmen, man
aged to secure the reportorlal services of
less prominent men at a smaller figure.
Of all the signed articles by so-called
statesmen during the convention, the pro
ductions of Gen. Grosvenor of Ohio w ere
easily the most interesting from a jour
nalistic standpoint. Had a ton-dollar-a
week reporter turned in to the managing
editor such poorly written rot as was pub
lished over the signature of a leading
statesman, the reporter would have been
“tired*' on the spot and his copy dashed
into the waste basket.
In cultivating th* habit of poying public
men large eume of money to do ordinary,
reportorlal work the yellow journals are
injuring the newspaper profession to the
extent that it is now difficult for a trained
reporter to obtain an Interview on any
great national question except for a pe
cuniary compensation.
Contracts have already been made with
leading Democrats by some of the “Yel
lows'* to report the proceedings of the
convention at Kansas City.

Ilnur* autl 'lore Pay.
Darien, Ga., June 24.—The strike of the
longshoreman is on. Every man gave
notice Friday night that he would not
go to work again except at the advanced
wages, and the decreased work hours
demanded a few days ago. The loading
of the vessels was at a standstill yester
day.
The timber merchants do not appear
to be uneasy. The delay will, they think
be brief. The strike will, of course, give
them some inconvenience, especially as a
number of large steamships are to ar
rive during the next few weeks, but the
sevedores hope to get new men before
many days.
Many of the men who struck were in
town to-day. but no d;sturbance of any
kind occurred.

IN THE LAND OF MAGIC.
Modern >flirnclea and Miracle Work
ers of Thibet.
Dr. Henry Liddell in the Home Magaxln?.
The country known to English-speaking
folk as Thibet boars a very different name
among its own people. It is called Bod. or
Bod-yul, “the country of Bod.” The name
Rod probably refers to Buddha. Thibet
being the headquarters of what is termed
Northern Buddhism, in coniradisUnction
to the Buddhism of Ceylon, which is spok
en of as Southern Buddhism. In India
proper Buddhism is r.o longer a dominant
cult.
Though ostensibly Buddhists, the people
of Bod are in reality slaves to Lamaisnv
a system of theology which ha* been de
bited as “Buddhism corrupted by Ova ism
and by Shamanism or spirit worship."
Shamanism is the dominant cult of Mon
golia. and is a system of demon wor
ship rather than spirit worship
Thibet is regarded by students of the oc
cult os the home of magic, and whether or
no there be “Mahatmas' ’’ in that wild and
weird land, in which the late Mme. Bia
vatsky. the high priestess of theos phy.
it is claimed, servedareven-ycur appren
ticeship in the magic art. we have it cn
the most respectable testimony that the
lamas of Bod-yul can ard do perform fea:s
which have not yet been explained in
terms of science and which cai\ only be
classed as magical.
The performance of the Bek is. or won
der-working lama 9. are quite as astound
ing in their way as those of the Indian
fakirs, who sre Mohammedans, or of the
Sanyahis or Yogis, who are Brahmins, but
they are usually terrible and revo 'ing. A
Thibetan Bokt. who had wandered from
his native land and penetrated as far as
Benares, gave an exhibition of his wonder
ful powers in one of the vast temples of
the holy city a few* years ago. He w.s
accompanied and assisted by a mongrel
crowd of half-human compatrio:*. The ex
hibition promised by the wonderful magi
cian was truly an astound.r.g one. He
proposed, in view of oil beholders, to rip
up his abdomen, remove a handful of in
testines. display them to the spectators
and then replace them again and heal up
the wound by n few magi cad passes, leav
ing no vestige of the damage inflicted.
Not Evrry-D* > Occurence*.
Needless to say such exhibitions arc not
every-day occurrences, and the ordinary
globe trotter might traverse India from
(.'ape Comorin to Nepal and not be fortu
rate enough to witness so marvelous, if
revolting, a spectacle as that it: ques
t ion.
When the hour cf noon arrived the lama
appeared arid took his seat before the
raised ahar on which candies had been
lighted. Before him was a radiant image
of the sun. and on either side of tho altar
were grim idols which had been placed
there by the attendants.
The luma was in person a small, spare
man. with fixed, glittering eyes, an ema
ciated frame and an Immense mass of iong
black hair, which floated over his shoul
ders Ho appeared altogether like a walk
ing corpse, in whose head two biasing
rives had been lighted, which gleamed in
unnatural lu-i-r through his long fl.mon.i
shaped ryes. He was about forty years of
age. and report alleged that he had al
r. ~lv s me four times previously perform
i i the gretit sacrificial act he was now
about to repeat.
From the moment this skeleton figure
had Mkctt : seat the sever.iy fakirs who
surrounded him in a semi-clr.le began to
swat their bodies back and forth, singing
meanwhile a loud, monotonous chant In
rhythm with their movements. In a few
minutes the gesticulations of the fakirs tr
creased almost to frenry They tossed
their arm- on high, bent their bo-diee to
earth, now forward, now backward, now
swung them around as if thrown by the
hands of others. Meantime their monoto
nous chant rose into shrieks and yells so
frightful that th< ears of the listeners
were deafened and their senses distracted
hv the clamor. On every side of the au
ditorium b: alters of it. -er.se were burning
S<x fakirs swung pots of frankincense,
filling the air with intoxicatlrg vapors,
while six othets stood behind, bea leg
n-.etnl drums or clashing cymbals, which
they pissed on high with gestures of frar.-
tic exultation. For some time the howls,
shrieks aid distracting actions of this
msn.ac crew produced no effe.t on th.s
immoi able lama
but Like One Dead.

A Florentine traveler succeeded in pen
etrating in disguise to Potaia shortly
after the death of a Dalai lama, and de
scribes what he saw in connection with
the reincarnation of the Buddha who ho i
taken up his abode in the body of a young
child.
“An altar is ready in the temple to re
ceive the resuscitated Buddha found by
the initiated priesthood, and recognized
by certain secret signs to have relncar
r.tifed him self Tn a new-born trrfanr. The
>aby. but a few days old. is brought into
the pretence of ihe people and reverential
ly placed upon the altar. Suddenly rising
to n sitting posture the child begins
u :er in a loud, manly voice the following
sentences: lam Buddha: lam his spirit,
and 1. Buddha* your Dalai Lama, have
left my oid decrepit body at the temple of
* * * and selected the body of this
young babe as my earthly dwelling.’ “
The Florentine says he was permitted
by the priests to take the baby in his
arms and carry it off some distance, so
as to satisfy himself that i; was no trlcx
of the ventriloquist. The infant opened
his eyes and gave him such a look thu
made his flesh creep, and then repeat
ed the same words, so there could be n.
mistake about it. This account is con
firmed by Abbe Hue. who states thac the
child answers questions end tells those
who knew him in his past life the most
exact details of his anterior earthly ex
istence.
This incident is inexplicable, but if is
not without collateral support from inde
pendent sources.
